Fourou Alam

Fourou Alam (died 1957) was an Algerian FLN member and the driver in the 1957 Algiers ambulance rampage. Alam drove a hijacked ambulance as Gezul Rahim fired on crowds of French civilians in the European district of Algiers in the summer of 1957, and he decided to run down some French civilians when Rahim ran out of ammunition. The ambulance crashed into a support pillar of a building, however, and the stone roof came down on the attackers and killed them.
